What is the spiritual message of each of

the Jewish holidays?
How do we teach it to our children?

Many books tell children about the

historical significance and customs of the holidays. Now,

through engaging, creative stories about one family’s spiritual

preparation, Sharing Blessings explores ways to get into the

spirit of the holidays all year long.

Musleah, mother and journalist, and

Klayman, father and rabbi, gently give our children the

spiritual message and help adult and child explore it together.

For 13 different holidays and festivals, there is a story about

David, Ilana, and their mom and dadi?1/2a story focusing on the

spiritual value embodied in each holiday.

Being afraid of the dark, taking a walk in

the woods with Grandpa, arguments between David and Ilana,

sharing family photos; all become opportunities for learning

about how each holiday’s meaning is related to our daily life.

Each story begins with a brief explanation of the holiday and

concludes with a special prayer that child and adult can share

to bring the spiritual meaning of the holiday into their own

lives.
